One of the features in NSX manager is the Service-Insertion platform, where partners can integrate their services with NSX manager. The two main programs that support service-insertion are - EPSec and NetX. In addition to vCenter and NSX Manager, EPSec has the MUX component (running as a userworld process on ESXi host) and thin-agents (running on the guest VMs – Linux and Windows). The main components of the NetX service include vsip (kernel module in ESXi hosts), vsfwd and netcpa (user-world processes on ESXi hosts).
This Fling will help VMware partners, customers and developers to troubleshoot EPSec/NetX programs which integrate multiple components and subcomponents, where each of these components serves specific functionalities.
This tool will help debugging issues by extracting only the relevant information from the product on a per-component level. This tool fetches required debugging information across modules, then validates the extracted information, and finally helps to correct invalid configurations. This would minimize the effort and time cost required from the partner in gathering the required information from the product and its components.
The following scripts are part of this tool:
